Riding out the back

Why riding out the back?

Riding out the back? I love cycling, sometimes I watch it, sometimes I listen to it and sometimes I ride my bike. I’ve never been the fastest, or the bravest or the best. But I’ve always loved the adventure, the places, the people. It’s a cliche but it really is all about the journey and the connections that you make.

What do wild spaces mean to me? Wilding or re-wilding? How can I bring nature into an urban environment?

A sense of place

For a long time now I have been fascinated by the architecture of Aberdeen. It’s granite seemingly timeless, a mask of conformity in a sea of historic styles. And then there is the promise of railway architecture, a promise of adventure and discovery, a re-living of the past and the possibility of the new.

A four to the floor beat, an uplifting melody and heartbreaking lyrics.
